UEFA FFP investigation - CAS decision to be announced Monday, 13th July 9.30am BST

That simply isn't correct. You think every other person who isn't a City fan is in thrall to UEFA?

No but they don't care. They consider our cash resources to make us as bad as the rest.
I stated when all this began that to stand a chance if success t we have to bat for the Newcastles, Sunderlands, Evertons, Leedses and Villas of this world to stand a cchance of success.
We haven't so we won't.
If we lose against UEFA we've lost big time. If we win, we've still lost.

Assuming that the case against us doesn't go well and we remain with a ban of some period and / or a fine, how do City expose the teams who have been instrumental in forcing UEFA to bring the charges against us, is the dippers , rags e.g. et al ?

@ PrestwichBlue ? is it likely that City have documentary evidence to support those claims ?

I don't often post. I prefer reading the opinions of others than expressing my own but having read most of whats gone before and seen things on social media the sceptic in me can't really believe that Uefa would first of all punish City in the way they have without having something more than a few newspaper articles. I'm reminded of a book I once read where someone was winning a battle too easily, so easily it made him uneasy, in the end he lost the battle because the enemy had a weapon he knew nothing about. i can't help feeling this may be the case here.

This is just not my experience, the vast majority don't give a toss about it, you're just focussing on the small number on social media, and/or the extremely biased media trolls.

I work with fans of many other clubs, and none of them mention it.

I agree that they don't give a toss. It doesn't mean they wont think we've cheated by throwing cash at the situation. The two positions are not mutually exclusive.

Actually, that is the most sensible thing I've read for some time. We are so involved that we think everyone else is bothered. Guess many fans from other teams will look at the outcome (if it's favourable to us) and then move on

Yes exactly, when its decided, if we win nothing more will be said apart from on social media, and 95% of the population will have forgotten about after a few days, if we lose there'll be lots of sniggering for a few days, and then normal life will kick in, and 95% of the population will forget (not give a toss).

The biggest issue here is social media trolls, many of them journalists.

I don't care if they do, win or lose, I'll still be a blue, and nobody can take away my experience of being one, warts and all over the years.

Seems like uefa's winning too easily; maybe it's us who's got the secret weapon...

Me too. I couldn't give a shit about what others think.

However, the point of what I'm trying to say is that to really win we have to destroy UEFA and the reality is the G14 cartel clubs dont really care about that one jot. For them it is a win win situation.

Then I guess we agree, and if they (old g14) break away, there will be a very different outcome heading their way imho.

But they can be.
